Hello people,

`git-push --all --tags` does not work because git-push ends up calling git-send-pack --all refs/tags/*, which the latter does not deal with.

Looking at the code, it seems that previously, --all would push everything, not just refs/heads/*. What's the reason that this was changed? Why aren't tags considered part of --all?

If I wanted to fix this, so that --all pushes heads and --all --tags pushes heads and tags, I could do so in two ways:

  1. instead of --all, pass refs/heads/* to git-send-pack
  2. add --tags to git-send-pack

which of these two would you prefer and why?

Thanks,
